 {{Mb|=-% Target Defense}} reduces target defense by a percentage of the total when calculating [[Attack#Chance to hit|chance to hit]] for [[melee]] and [[missile]] attacks. Reducing target defense is equivalent to increasing Attack Rating, multiplying it by 100/(100 - % Target Defense). For example, -50% is equivalent to multiplying AR by 2 (100/(100-50) ), while a combination of +200% AR (*3) and -50% (*2) is equivalent to +500% AR (so -50% itself is equivalent to +300% AR in this case).
